1.Thanks for taking some time to answer these questions : ) Firstly, How did you start producing music?
感謝你抽時間出來回答這些問題 : ) 首先想問的是，回想以往，你是怎樣踏上製作音樂的道路呢?
my first expeirence of playing music at the age of 4, when my family sent me to attend piano classes. Years later, naturally, I began to compose simple electronic music using a keyboard when i was 13 years old. It was in this four years of toying with a keyboard and a tape recorder, that opened up a whole new dimension in my world of music making.
2.As we know , flau is a famous music label nowadays. So what's the story about the beginning of flau ？
正如我們所知，flau現今已是一個著名的音樂廠牌。那麼開設flau背後又是怎樣的一個故事呢?
i'm not sure flau is famous or no...haha,flau formed 5years ago. i would like to make the platform for my friend artist. at that time i got many demos from some artists, and i already know many good artist around me like cokiyu, geskia, part timer. so i decided the start of the label.
3.As a music artist, which atrists influence your music most?
作為一個音樂藝人，有那些音樂人對你影響最深呢?
mmm, i can't say favorite artists...because acquiring my inspirations from all over the places - images that my mind captured from movies, words that i stumbled upon, pieces of music that drop out from TV and radio, nomadic dreams, long lost memories and indescribable inner feelings.
5.Have you ever been Macao before? How about your impressions of this tiny city? (this question seem to by asked by our Goverment Tourist Office, haha )
6.Do you( and flau ) have any exciting plans in 2012?
那麼你和flau廠牌在2012年有哪些令人興奮的計劃呢?

不過她在2007年推出的首張專輯《Mirror Flake》卻非常Glitch Pop，其漂浮無垢式唱腔，搭配極富旋律的敘事曲風與甜蜜夢幻的環境電音，旋即奠定她在日本獨立電音界地位，而去年推出的《Your Thorn》音景漸趨冷酷卻不失夢幻意境，更收錄她為中島哲也執導、松隆子主演電影《告白》所寫的配樂"Gloomy"和"See The Sun"。她的音樂也被Canon官網以及東京車展所採用。 http://www.cokiyu.net/cokiyu

aus aus（aka Yasuhiko Fukuzono）來自東京，2004年他在比利時獨立廠牌U-Cover發行第一張專輯《Kangaroo Note》。不過真正奠定他在日本電音圈地位的是2006年的《Lang》，之後出版的混音版本，邀請到Ulrich Schnauss、Manual、Joshua Eustis （Telefon Tel Aviv）、Kettel、Isan、Bracken與Dosh等知名音樂人參與。aus目前已經出版了七張專輯，2006年更成立自己的廠牌flau，參與過的大型音樂節包括SonarSound Tokyo 2006、Tokyo Mid-Town Opening Showcase、Summer Sonic Festival 2009與De La Fantasia Festival。

cuushe 來自日本大阪的新晉女唱作人cuushe，音樂深受Boards of Canada、L’altra的影響。她於2003年展開個人音樂事業，以她迷人的輕柔嗓音爲主要樂器，在電子音樂的創作中融入了流行的元素，雖討喜卻與其它以歌唱爲主的流行音樂迥然不同。多才多藝的cuushe本身還是一位優秀的詞作者，其美妙、精緻的音樂中細膩地彌漫著敏銳情感與微小記憶。cuushe在The Boats、Pawn、Kontinnent以及Tomoyuki Kanazu等藝術家的作品中有著出色的伴唱。 http://www.cuushe.net/
cuushe - summer night sketch
cuushe, a talented female artist hailing from the wonderful city of Kyoto, is greatly inspired by the music of Boards of Canada, L’altra, among others. She first ventured into solo-project works in 2003. Using her mesmerizing airy vocals as the main instrument, cuushe composes pop-infused electronic music that is lovable and yet uniquely different from any other song-based pop sounds out there. Together with her own delicate lyrics, the multi-talented cuushe beautifully projects a subtle musical world that is carefully wrapped with sensitive emotion and fragile memories.
